I think the colors and fabrics are great, and if that's what you daughter wants, why not? I once made a quilt for my then 10 year old son, a bright blue and black triple Irish chain, and he wanted a leopard print for the backing. I did manage to find a small leopard print at a discount chain, they had 6 yds. at $1/yd. just the exact amount I needed, the quilt was finished and he loved that quilt, even after he grew up and left home, the quilt went with him, and when my boomerang kids came back, the quilt came back with him. For those of you with younger children, Boomerang Kids, my term, means older kids who go off to school, move out on their own, etc., but invariably they come home again - once both my kids came back at the same time, the first one back got their pick of rooms in the basement. Now both are married, my son lives 3 miles away with our DGD Zoe and his wife; and my daughter lives in Sydney, Australia with her DH.
